"1believe there is a ground swell of unease in our community. A realization that although many of us enjoy a relatively high standard of living in Alberta, there is something about the direction in which we are headed that doesn't make sense. We are living beyond our means. If we don't make adjustments to our lifestyles and use our resources more efficiently and wisely our children will notbe able to enjoy the quality of life that we do. If we elect representatives who are willing to irnplernent the necessary changes our society will continue to develop and prosper. If we don't make these changes voluntarily, they will be forced on us by circumstances beyond our control and we will ail suffer the consequences. We must make our society sustainable. A vote for me as your Green Party Candidate will start making these chan~es happen"

Reasons for Voting Green in the 2004 Alberta Provincial Election:

• Preserving and strengthening the universal public health care system, • Resisting any attempt to privatize the Canadian health care system. • Derailing the Conservative agenda for the privatization of ail government and public services. For example, the de-regulation of the energy delivery system has been a disaster. • Opposition of any transfer of water resources to the United States. • Fully funding and expanding funding of our education system from preschool through university. Alberta currently ranks ih out of the 10 provinces for accessibility and quality of post-secondary education, in spite of our budget surplus. • Revising the tax system to reward innovation and sustainability, and punishing pollution, waste and inefficiency. • Revision of our electoral system to one of proportional representation. • Full accountability of our elected officiais. • Diversification of our economy away from non-renewable resources.
